My skill set has been sharpened, I've learnt new skills, and improved my competency
As part of my upskilling, I searched for programs that could help achieve that and came across upGrad and enrolled. It has been a really enlightening journey and one that I've thoroughly enjoyed. My skill set has been sharpened, I've learnt new skills, and improved my competency. I've also connected and made friends with some really awesome and like-minded people along the way and thus I've enlarged my network. Part of my success was that I was invited by the Vice Chancellor of one of the Universities in South Africa to address the executive council on a large language model i.e ChatGPT, and its impact on research.

I enrolled in the Post Graduate Diploma in Data Science course in December. We've delved into Python, covering loops, coding, and working with various datasets for univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. Completing and submitting assignments has boosted my confidence. The course material, rich with examples, has been excellent. It's been a rewarding journey thus far, and I eagerly anticipate completing the course by year's end.
